Biography

Behrang Vand received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Mechanical and Energy Engineering and the Ph.D. in Energy and Building Technology.
He has been working in both industry and academia for several years in different countries such as Iran, China, Finland, and the UK. So, he has a good network and collaboration with various companies, research centres, and universities worldwide. During these years, he has been working both at the theoretical and practical levels. He is keen to research these subjects, such as sustainable development, low-carbon and energy technologies, energy policy, energy and thermal comfort in buildings, energy management systems at different scales.
More information can be found on Behrang’s pages (ResearchGate and Google Scholar).
